Design21 has an exciting textile and product design competition happening now called, "Weaving Love, Creating Hope." The challenge has two categories in which to submit: textile design and product design that can be seen as a symbol of hope. The winning entries will be produced and sold by Grameen Felissimo, benefitting the local markets and communities of Bangladesh through employment and economic independence. Winners will also each receive US $3,000. The deadline to enter is April 21st.
From the site:
This challenge is built on the Grameen check, fabric born of Bangladesh with local resources and skills. Woven in cotton, it is mostly produced in the poorest region of the country with a hope of economic independence. To commemorate the birth of the first Grameen Felissimo project, we invite you to help us create a beautiful symbol of Hope in the design of a brand new check pattern. This challenge is intended to bring the power of design into action, by injecting an element of excitement to the product line and thereby expanding their market outside their own village and country.Read the Full Story » | More on CRAFT » | Comments » | Read more articles in Contests | Digg this!

Great idea, I have a large rectangle table that needs a table cloth and a beautiful bedspread something like the one you have here. It has a stain close to one of the edges so I can cut that part off and use it for a tablecloth! Thanks! GayleneSource: http://www.craftbits.com/project/bedspread-table-cloth#comment_39287

Still chilly? Never fear, you can knit conductive thread into your gloves and keep your smartphone fingers warm. Laura Nelkin lives near chilly Ithaca, NY, where these are still coming in quite handy:
More:Did you know I live somewhere COLD? Well, now that I have a smart phone with a touch screen I've run into a problem... I want to answer it, check my e-mail or just tweet and I have to TAKE OFF my gloves to do it. This just doesn't work when it's 10 degrees out! Last year my hubby was talking my ear off about conductive thread and how cool it is and how it's the wave of apparel design' s future, and I was like yeah.. yeah.. yeah... right. BUT, it is!!!!
I decided to get some from Etsy and give it a whirl, and you know what? It IS the latest greatest thing... I knit some gloves and held the conductive thread double with the yarn for the tip of the index finger, and IT WORKS! I can use my phone outside and not freeze... who woulda thunk it? I did decide to give my finger a little extra "boost" and wove the ends of the thread across the pad of the finger a few times more.
How-To: Touch Screen Gloves (another way)

My first experience with fiber arts as a small child was finger knitting, and I was obsessed. But all I ever made was chain- miles and miles of chain! V and Co shows us how to elevate finger knitting into modern and sophisticated bracelets with a well presented tutorial. This is also the perfect craft to add to your list of ways to upcycle a t-shirt! [via notmartha]

These DIY crepe paper carrots from Martha Stewart's The Crafts Dept. blog are a nice way to have fun on Easter with a little less sugar running through your young guests' veins! I like the idea of hiding trinkets inside the carrots rather than candy, and it seems like this could be easily adapted to make crepe eggs as well.

Spring is finally here, and I've been spending every free moment planting colorful new additions in my yard. This year I thought I'd try to grow some edible flowers in the half wine barrel on my deck. I started poking around online and found almost too much information, but a lot of inspiration as well. I knew about nasturtiums and mustard blooms, but daisies and gladiolus? Turns out there are lots of flowers that offer more than a pretty face. I've included some of my finds after the jump.
The above image was found at Fresh Origins, which has a wonderful roundup of cocktails decorated with edible flowers. Yum! And be sure to take a peek at Jenny Ryan's vanilla-and-lemon cupcakes adorned with wild flowers, and Shawn Connally's awesome Foraging For Salad post! What are some of your favorite things to do with edible petals?

Summer skirts are one of my favorite things to make. Last year, a good friend and I set up an assembly line-type sewing session and made an entire wardrobe of skirts to wear for the summer in just two days. It was so much fun and so satisfying. Dana from Made shares how to make several simple skirt variations over on her blog. They are geared toward kids, but could easily be modified to adult sizes, too. Soon, I'll be hitting my fabric stash to make this summer's skirt wardrobe!

Matt Borgatti made this pillow mace for NYC's Pillow Fight Flash Mob. He writes:
Read the Full Story » | More on CRAFT » | Comments » | Read more articles in Plush | Digg this!Surprisingly it took a good yard of cushion foam and two bags of poly-fill to do this one up right and get it nice and spherical. In other interesting news this may be the first dodecahedron I've ever constructed.
Now, I'm not quite sure whether to call it complete and just bop people in my normal casual wear, or put together an entire Little Nemo themed ensemble to accompany it. I've looked into adult size footie pajamas, but they're mad expensive for such a frivolous purpose.

Delphine from Non Dairy Diary shares a new printable for patterned fish. The post is originally for April Fools Day in France where Delphine explains that French children pin paper fish to people's backsides on April 1st. I think these fish look so stylish all year round and would look beautiful strung up on a wall as decor for a kids room.

Browsing through the Winter 2011 issue of Anthology Magazine I came across a wonderful photo essay on Palm Springs by MAKE's very own Jen Siska (Makeshift). Jen's "visual travelogue" takes you through the sun-soaked San Jacinto Mountains and cacti-laced Mid-Century Modern dessert abodes, all captured with her Canon 5D Mark II (which retails for $2,500) ... Save the last dreamy image of palms, shot by a $70 Holga CFN 120 (bottom left). It's then that Anthology gives us a great little roundup of cheap cameras, ranging in price from $25 to $325, available from the cult favorite "analog photography" site, Lomography. As someone who's been without a camera for months now (my Canon Powershot died an inexplicable and unprovoked death) it's refreshing to learn about less expensive replacement options that might offer more artsy results. For full reviews, be sure to check out Anthology, issue No. 2!

It's all about dinosaurs in my house right now, so this plush dinosaur pattern puts a gleam in my eye. I love the fuzzy back paired with the fun floral belly! Laura is giving away the first 300 downloads of the pattern, so head on over to We Wilsons to check it out! She has some great photos of earlier, discarded attempts at the dinosaur, too.
